My anti-democracy message is generally applicable. I focused it on the American election, only because this is an American-based forum where “Love Trump”/“Hate Trump” talk is all the rage!
P.S., if you are German, then
don’t vote—
democracy is a SCAM, and all of the parties are bad. But if you
do vote, then vote for
AfD!
:-)
Not voting is not the fix.
Yes. Yes, it is—or rather, it is the beginning thereof.
What would disillusioned non-voters do, if they
lost the faith of democratic
votaries? Surely, not nothing!
Don’t make me bring out that hamster-wheel GIF again, or launch into another speech about
the consent of the governed upon which the power of all régimes must ultimately repose.
...which is a phrase that I first used in reply to you in WO, philip:The illusion was being lost—and with it, the consent of the governed upon which the power of all régimes must ultimately repose. Thus stepped onstage Trump, a professional showman, to stir the pot just enough to get the enthusiasms flowing both for and against him.
Tell me, why do you suppose that the mass-media wail and gnash their teeth whenever voter turnout rates drop? Do you believe that they
care about your
freedom?Democracy is a SCAM, and voting is the trap that keeps you under the control of the system.
The masses vote for tyranny,
because it is what they want. You cannot reason with them. If you cherish freedom, then your
table of values differs fundamentally from that of the masses whose votes will always outnumber yours.
Are so many millions of people, in so many democratic countries around the world, all voting for leaders and policies which they actually don’t want? Really? Or do you simply disagree with what they want, and project your own desires onto them through your unexamined assumption that they must be just like you?
Against that, what can freethinking individuals do?
Free yourself first from the moral authority of the mob. You owe nothing to mass opinion; therefore, the laws which rise on mass opinion have no proper authority over you. You do not consent to be governed by the votes of millions of anthropoid livestock who want to be bound in chains—who eagerly embrace those chains just as long as they remain warm, fed, and adequately entertained. You are a law unto yourself.
Wherefore “anarchy” as to the masses and their so-called “governments”, which are in truth no more than the largest, most well-armed organized criminal gangs. Don’t reject authority: Be your own authority.
Reductio ad absurdum, if millions of people were to vote for mandatory coprophagy, then would you comply? —More importantly, would you consider it a matter of conscience to obey their laws?
Freedom begins in the mind.
